Philosophy of Rotation.

As the experiment work of this college
is carried forward in the direct interest of
economical farming ! will turn aside from
the direct function of a bulletin-which is
to relate the results of investigations-to
state the reasons, in part, upon which rota-
ton is based, without, however, going into
evidence in support of said reasons
/. Rotations are valuable because plants
vary in the area Of the soil in which their
roots grow, aud from which they derive
the sustenance Of the plant, thus more
completely utilizing the soil within their
reach.
? There is a remarkable variation in the
power of plants to appropriate the various
elements of plant growth, due, at least in
part, to the character of the acids secreted
by their roots. Thus, one plant. like the
clover, has high power of gathering nitro
gen, and another, like wheat very low
power.
3. Plants vary in their weight of roots
As an illustration, clover carries several
times the weight of roots that wheat does

heaped together. In the midst of the
group was an old red bull standing ON his
feet surrounded by heaps of cows and
calves Most of the cattle were lying
down some of them had fallen on their
knees, and half a dozen were on their feet.
Cows exhausted by the summers sucking
and spring calves are the favoritc victims
Of the storms, and these lie scatterd over
the prairies in thousands. The living cat
tie 20 about their frozen mates, and are, If
possible, more pitful sight than the heaps
Of carcasses Thousands Of cattle are
staggering in the snow, 81 feeble that they
could never regain strength if spring should
open tomorrow. The strongest are little
more than skeletons. The long dry hair
stands ON end, and is vain protection
from the pitiless wind that whistles through
it, They stand all day and all night their
backs arched up and their noses touching
the snow
Those who have hearts that can be
touched by such suffering as this will hail
with joy any evidence that the stock rails
ing business in the Northwest is undergo
ing "A change. a change must soon take
place. The cowboy and his heartless mas
ter move before the settler, and the great
range herds will give way to smaller herds
of tanner cattle, which will be saved from
freezing and starvation by proper care.

IIarpcr's Bnzar Notes on Autumn jack


A warm jacket is one Of the first add
tionss 10 the wardrobe when preparing for
cool autumn and winter days. Braided
cloth coats are imported for autumn in dark
shades that may be worn with various
dresses, such as navy blue, gray-blue,
brown, green and dark steel gray. The
materials used for these tailor made gar
ments are fine corkscrews, diagonals and
Meltons, and the braiding is done in the
same color in very elaborate designs, or in
mixed braid, with some tinsel added TO the
prevailing color, or else some gold braid or
cord is used carefully to tighten up the vest
or revers. There is a tendency TO length
on coats slightly, especially in the back,
and many are of even length around the
sides and back Single-breasted coats will
be most seen in fine smooth cloths, the
double-breasted fronts being reserved for
garments of rough Scotch tweeds Vests
remain in favor, some being very slender,
and others being genuine waistcoats set in
the underarm seams of the coat The
backs are fitted by one or two forms on
each side, the middle forms lap in the mid
die seam, and the waist line is defined by
two buttons. Collars are very high, with
buckram interlining Sleeves are close
cont shape, with buttons and button holes
on the wrists Pockets may he set outside
along the hips in square shapes and braid
ed, or be intermediate, with only slit in
the cloth for the opening. Small fancy
buttons are used on vests, while plain last
ing or bone buttons are used on the coats.
Stitched edges are seen on some part of al
most every coat. Innings are of changea.
bic repped silks or twiled surahs and some
have gay stripes checks or blocks of satin.
The wider mohair braids are again used in
parallel rows and as bindings Revers are
of velvet or of cloth Of the same color of
the coat, prettily braided, or else of cloth
of contrasting color \ novel model brought
over from London has the fronts cut like

for home consumption of crops and return

II. Practice Of 2000 years confirms the

much valuable information in the following
imperative rules
l. Absolute purity as regards person,

with the milk. ,. Use only properly ri
pened cream. g. Stop churning the mo-

AGRICULTURAL.

There is much truth in the article headed
Farming not fully Credited copied in an
other place, which farmers and farmers
sons who desire to change their occupation
would do well 70 rend and consider. II is
not, however, for the best interest Of farm
ers as a class to try to persuade every one
who is born on farm to remain a farmer,
and every one who is not farmer TO be
come one. There is already "A surplus of
agricultural products Perhaps the public
would be benefited by an increase in the
number of farmers, but-at least financial
lv-the farmers themselves would not. An
increase of the proportion Of population
engaged in farming would tend to cheaper
farm products. We already have too much
competition.
The annual report of the New York state
central organization Of cooperative fire in
surance associations states that the average
cost of insuring $1,000 for three years has
been 49, 20. Sixty four companies insur-
ing property TO the amount of 81, 900 0OO
are included In most of these companies
the insurance is exclusively on farm prop
erty. In one company, which insures over
50 600 900 worth Of farm property, one
tenth Of one per cent year on the amount
insured has paid all expenses and losses for
ten years and left a small surplus iH' the
treasury The average cost in the 81 com
panies is a trihe less than one eighth of one
per cent a year on the amount insured.
